About

An elegant, hands-on evening inspired by Sardinia’s bold, elemental cuisine. We’ll start by making silky egg-yolk pasta ribbons and pair them with sautéed artichokes and bottarga—Sardinia’s prized cured fish roe. Next, we’ll prepare Torta di Zucchine, a savory frittata packed with grated zucchini and aged pecorino, then plate it alongside a bright salad of tomatoes, basil, and a lemon-zest vinaigrette. To end, we’ll shape and bake pardulas, sunburst-shaped ricotta tarts infused with saffron and citrus. 

On the menu:

  • Tagliatelle with Artichokes and Bottarga
  • Torta di Zucchine with Fresh Tomato and Basil Salad
  • Pardulas with Saffron Ricotta Filling
